.... of violence emanate from players, others, including coaches, parents, fans, and the media, also contribute to what has been described as an epidemic of today (Leonard, p. 166). Considerable research has been done on spectator violence. A central issue is whether fans incite player violence or reflect it (Debenedotte, p. 207). The evidence is inconclusive. Spectators do take cues from players, coaches, cheerleaders, and one another. Spectators often derive a sense of social identity and self-esteem from a team. Emulation of favorite players is an element of this identification. Group solidarity with players and coaches leads to a view of opposing teams as enem .....

.... they got the impression the customer was dangerous or suspicious. These presumptions come along with other physical traits such as race or dress. Social groups come in many types.

The exact opposite also holds true for those who would be rejected from a group because of the piercing. Last, and most importantly body piercing may affect your job. There .....

.... learns by seeing what his parents do and mimicking it, so a parent's job is very crucial to a child's acquisition of good morals. A parent must show the child the virtues of good judgement by using good judgement in their own life. If a child witnesses an unethical act performed by his parents, he will think that it is okay. The fact is that children who didn't have good parents, generally, don't grow up into very respectable adults. The old saying goes: “Monkey see, monkey do.” It may sound like a cheap cliche, but there is a lot of truth to it. While raising a child, a parent might find that sometimes the child is not learning the morals that the .....

It is a way that abusers commit abuse and still live with themselves. Denial allows them to continue being abusive by hiding the sickness from others so they can maintain the abusive situation for a longer time. Billboards, radio, and TV ads across the country proclaim that “every fifteen seco .....

.... it. Biracial children must learn to cope with the problems that come with being multi-cultural. One of the biggest problems biracial children have is finding their identity. "What are you?" is one of the most commonly asked questions that biracial children have to answer to. Being unable to give a one race answer causes problems for both the child and whom ever they are talking to. Many people do not understand how someone can be two or more races. In their eyes you can only have one race. Since being biracial is not normal to them, they look down on these people. This kind of behavior can make growing up especially hard for children. In the past ch .....

.... is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year sends out cards praying for Peace on Earth." (Coats, 13) We need to realize, that in today's society, animals deserve just as much freedom as humans have. Although we are larger in size, we are not superior in status. Animals have been around on the earth for as long as humans, if not longer. Animals play an important role in today's society whether or not we choose to admit it. Like a newborn baby learning to play with others we must learn to share the planet with animals. One of th .....
